TFN Rationale• Allows dramatic increases in bandwidth
at minimum cost
• Estimate of $20M - $60M savings over 10 years
• Promotes technological innovation
• Enhances collaboration

TFN Financing
• $21M investment• Financing from Ohio State University
– Loan for fiber ($7M)– Short-term financing ($2M)
• Financing from state capital budget ($8.5M) – Equipment– Last mile to 17 institutions

TFN Project
• Phase 1: replace backbone with dark fiber
• Phase 2: connect 17 universities to network with dark fiber or gig circuits
• Phase 3: connect other universities and colleges

Dark Fiber Acquisition
• RFP issued during Summer of 2002
• Selected a bid from Spectrum Networks– American Electric Power (AEP)– Williams Communications (Wiltel)
• 1600+ route miles
• Multiple IRUs for right of way

Equipment
• Cisco 15454 (DWDM)• Cisco switches and routers• Juniper routers• Cisco equipment purchased through
SBC• SBC did initial fiber characterization,
configured, pretested, and installed equipment

Summer/Fall 2004
• Hired two optical engineers
• Backbone implementation (two OC-48s)
• Connection of old PoPs to new PoPs
• Connected most of first 17 institutions
• National Roll-out event in late November

Last Mile Committee
• RFP issued in Dec 2003 for last-mile connectivity to all higher education and K-12 sites
• SBC responded and signed contract– OC3 and gig circuits
• Time Warner Cable is negotiating contract– OC3, gig and 10 gig circuits
